Investment Objective

The Fund seeks to provide investors with steady recurring income that is potentially higher than the average fixed deposit rates. At the same time, the Fund also attempts to attain medium-to-long term capital gains from investing in high quality dividend yielding securities.

Investment Strategies

The Fund will invest in equities in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) which have good dividend payout policies and reasonable medium-to-long term capital appreciation opportunities. The Fund will seek to invest in equities with good dividend payout policies that have the potential to provide high dividends within the next 12 months. At the same time, the Fund also seeks to invest in fixed income instruments with good credit qualities and impressive yield enhancement opportunities.

The portfolio construction process is research driven and is based on macroeconomic analysis, interest rate analysis, credit and yield spread analysis, country analysis as well as fundamental analysis of sectors and stocks. Other than conventional equities with high dividends, the Fund may also invest in other high yielding instruments such as regional Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as well as regional fixed income securities that pay recurring and stable income.
